A LED matrix editor
mtXcontrol is an editor written in Processing to easily create image sequences for several output devices containing a multicolor LED matrix.
At tis moment, mtXcontrol supports the Rainbowduino controller and the Novation Launchpad.
mtXcontrol's generic API allows to add other in- and output devices easily.
mtXcontrol Editor auto detects and connects to your device. Once connected, you can draw points, lines and rows in different colors, create multiple frames and manipulate them.
Add, delete, move, fill, copy and paste of frames is supported. Play all frames by different speed, realtime update the device and save your work as image file. If supported (e.g. Rainbowduino), update the sequence on your device and run it standalone.
One special feature is typing letters and numbers. Future versions aim to support multiple devices, different color depth and many more.
Rainbowudino HowTo:
To use your Rainbowduino with mtXcontrol you have to upload the Firmware to your rainbowduino first. See instruction here. The firmware makes use of the Rainbowduino.h Library to manipulate the Matrix easily.
Make sure to put it into your Arduino Library. Connect your Rainbowduino via USB to your computer, upload firmware and you are ready to go - happy mtXcontrol drawing!
Here are some key features of "mtXcontrol":
· multiple Device support including auto detection
· Draw multicolor points, line and rows (4bit color support)
· Add, delete, clear, fill, copy & paste, move frames
· Draw letters and numbers, Font configureable
· Save to & load from Bitmap file
· Frame preview, easily navigate through
· Keyboard shortcut for each function
Requirements:
· Java
· Novation Launchpad or Rainbowduino + 8x8 RGB LED Matrix
